YouTube Comments to AI Content Ideas with GPT, Tavily & Apify

This n8n workflow automates turning raw YouTube comments into actionable, research-enriched content ideas. Start by pasting a YouTube video URL into the chat trigger. Apify scrapes all comments and metadata, then GPT-4.1-mini filters them to identify those with content idea potential, storing decisions in Google Sheets.

For promising comments, Tavily fetches fresh research context, and GPT generates a refined topic, engaging hook, and full video outline. The sheet updates automatically with these enriched fields, including comment text, author, likes, and more. This creates a streamlined pipeline from audience feedback to ready-to-produce content.

Benefits include rapid mining of competitor audiences for video ideas, validating opportunities with real feedback, and saving hours on ideation. Ideal for YouTubers, marketers, and content creators needing data-driven strategies. Requires Apify API token and Google Sheets setup with specific columns: id, text, author, likes, isIdea, topic, research, hook, outline.
